Perspective: Stress & Fundamentals

February 4, 2015

In this week's edition of MHSAA Perspective, John Johnson talks about the stress that specialization places on a young athlete's body, and how ways to relieve that stress actually work in combination with learning the fundamentals of a sport.

Now in its 10th season, the radio commentary MHSAA Perspective – presented by the Michigan Army National Guard – airs on over 80 radio stations and audio outlets across the state, generally during the local broadcasts of high school games. The program runs for 30 weeks through the end of the winter sports season.

This Week in High School Sports: 8/28/18

August 28, 2018

This week's show features Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central football standout Tate Hallock, presents Game Balls to Trenton's Jay Solano and Hart's Adelyn Ackley, explains a football play clock experiment during "Be The Referee" and concludes with an "MHSAA Perspective" on keeping the same proper perspective of school sports even as the world changes around us. 

The 5-minute program, powered by MI Student Aid, leads off each week with feature stories from around the state from the MHSAA’s Second Half or network affiliates. "Be The Referee," a 60-second look at the fine art of officiating, comes in the middle of the show and is followed by a closing MHSAA "Perspective."
